After Tamdan McCrory’s submission win<\/a> over Josh Samman at UFC on Fox 17<\/a>, McCrory spoke with the media on his tough fight. McCrory alluded that Samman felt “oily,” but was still able to pull off a triangle choke in the third round (Transcribed by Bloody Elbow<\/a>):<\/p>\n

“I wish I could have landed some cleaner shots,” McCrory said about the stoppage win over Samman. “I wish I’d felt a little better and crushed him better than I did. But, he got in that scramble and I knew, soon as I locked up that… I was working on the right arm, caught the left arm, put him in the triangle. He was defending that rather well, and plus it was slippin’ a little bit. And man, he was oily. I don’t know what that kid put in his skin, but he was sliding right back out on me, trust me…”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Samman gave a statement to Bloody Elbow, where he is also a contirbutor to the MMA based wesbite saying:<\/p>\n

“I’m not sure if he was making a joke or really insinuating that I put something on before the fight. I hope he doesn’t think that. I’ve never been a cheater. USADA can come up with a skin oil test before my next fight and I will pass that too.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
